That makes sense. As long as I can use it in 4:3, I'll use the extra real estate for other stuff in MSFS. Other games may benifit from the wide screen.
I found a 22" WS for $229 (USD), I think I'll go with it. I don't think I'll have any regrets with it, and should not have to worry about upgrading monitors for a while.
Thanks for the help, and I'll see you on VATSIM!
